It’s been over a week since the finales of Will Trent and The Rookie. I’ve been a bit unhappy with the Rookie this past season and I’m not sure why. I think I liked it more when it was a police procedural, showing the daily life of cops.
Will Trent has piled on the character deaths this season in such a way that I may not return to it when it reappears in January 2027.
The Rookie The Bandit Season Finale
The episode revolves (again) around ultra rich and well connected Heath Everett’s cohorts carrying out an elaborate escape involving a car and a helicopter. They carry him off to a secret ship that will take him out of the country.
A team of LAPD’s finest alongside the FBI go in at night before the ship leaves port, and snare Everett back.
Tim and Lucy who led the attack finally get a few moments alone on the beach at sunset, and Tim proposes to Lucy. A well earned sweet moment, but suddenly a smiling couple walks up and stabs each with a syringe, payback from Everett.
I really dislike all powerful villains, who beat your heroes at every juncture.
Will Trent Be of Service Season Finale
The main plot of the show was the abduction of a high school student that turned out to be tied to a human trafficking ring that has operated throughout the season. This storyline will apparently continue into season five.
Meanwhile Angie and Seth head to the hospital to deliver the baby. They were always such a great couple and Angie deserved the life she had with Seth. It’s over in a flash as another car rams them on Angie’s side. Angie and the baby are fine, but Seth, on the other side of the car sustains internal injuries though he seems fine initially. Left alone for a moment while Angie is rushed to surgery, Seth collapses and dies alone, sprawled on the floor in the hallway.
There’s a montage of Angie curled in bed for months while Will and Nico and Betty step in to watch over little Edie and get her started in life.
The showrunners are all about re-setting the show and characters, but I am beyond unhappy with how they’ve done it.
